Keto Berry Cheesecake Food

KETO BERRY-PECAN CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Add pecans to a food processor and chop very finely. Add sweetener, cinnamon, and nutmeg and process for a few more seconds. Pour mixture into a bowl and add melted butter. Stir together and press crust mixture into the bottom of a divided brownie pan with the divider removed.
• Beat egg until fluffy in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Mix in cream cheese 1 ounce at a time. Beat mixture until cream cheese is smooth. Add sweetener, sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Beat together until filling is smooth. Stir in melted butter. Pour filling over the crust in the brownie pan. Insert divider into the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a small pot over medium heat. Add mixed berries and sweetener and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Stir berries and crush some with a spoon so that a liquid starts to form. Cook for about 10 minutes more.
• Allow cheesecake bars to cool in the brownie pan, about 1 hour. Pour berry sauce on top of bars.

KETO BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium to large bowl, stir together the almond flour and Besti.
• In a small bowl in the microwave, or a small saucepan on the stove, melt the butter. Stir in the vanilla.
• Stir the melted butter into the almond flour mixture, until combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly.
• Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, until barely golden. Let the crust cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and Besti Powdered at low to medium speed, until fluffy.
• Beat the eggs, one at a time. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high a speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want).
• Gently fold in 1 cup (148 g) of blueberries.
• Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the cheesecake on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
• Bake for about 45-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly. A water bath is not necessary, but you can use one if you like.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edges (don't remove the springform wedge yet). Cool on the counter at room temperature.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) until completely set.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup (148 g) of blueberries, lemon juice, Besti Powdered, and lemon zest. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, mashing the sauce as the berries soften, until the blueberries start to break down and a sauce forms.
• Stir the remaining 1 cup (148 g) of blueberries into the sauce and heat for 2-3 minutes, until the whole blueberries are soft, but not mushy. Remove from the heat and let the sauce cool completely at room temperature.
• Once the cheesecake is set, run a knife along the edges of the springform pan again and remove the side of the pan. You can carefully transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate, or simply use the bottom of the springform pan for serving.
• Spoon most of the liquid part of the blueberry sauce over the cheesecake. Arrange the whole blueberries on top. Use any leftover sauce for serving.
